Finally got around to getting Schindler's List. And found Extreme Prejudice for 6 bucks at Kmart. Hadnt seen that since I was a kid - got me started on a kind of Walter Hill retrospective viewing spree

Don't worry darling, its just a hat, belonging to a small man of limited means who lost a fight with a chicken!

I just saw that available on amazon as well. The only thing that scares me is that it's a VCI release. It is a interesting week for oddball releases. The Prowler, Stanley Donen's Lucky Lady and Charles Grodin, James Mason, Trevor Howard & Candice Bergen in 11 Harrowhouse. Makes me feel like it is 2005 or something.

Eh, it's pretty much the only "official" one we're gonna get. Extras look strong (Muller commentary, etc.), and though the transfer is sure to be interlaced, as long as the source print is good (and it is), for $15 I'm there.

Thought about picking up An Affair to Remember at the same time, but I seem to recall that one being brought up as a Classic that hasn't held up as strongly as others. I'll have to look into it, especially since there seems to be a resurgence of interest in Leo McCarey of late.

I agree but for pete's sake..it's 2011...no one releases interlaced discs anymore. Or at least no one should. It's one of those purchases where I don't want to support an inferior product but I REALLY want the movie.

After a long search at local retailers I finally found the Blu Ray of King Kong (2005), so finally got to see the extended version. Worth the wait? Not really...the added scenes weren't exactly mind-blowing, but still pretty sweet to see it on Blu.

and Addison. if you're reading this:All About Eve which is fabulous, and George Sanders never looked or sounded better.
